Mike Williams available in Week 1, Saleh says. Had a nice day in practice today, with 4/5 catches, per Saleh. So there you have it: Mike Williams will play vs SF.

If everyone is healthy, namely Aaron Rodgers, the Jets could be interesting in fantasy for the first time in decades. Williams could carve out a role as a fantasy WR3 with upside for more.

The Jets activated WR Mike Williams from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list after he passed his physical.

This doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a full-go by Week 1 but it's a step in the right direction. If everyone is healthy, namely Aaron Rodgers, the Jets could be interesting in fantasy for the first time in decades. Williams could carve out a role as a fantasy WR3 with upside for more.

The Jets announced Thursday that Mike Williams will begin training camp on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list alongside fullback Nick Bawden and defensive tackle Leonard Taylor.

Locker goes on to state, "In mid-June, head coach Robert Saleh said Williams, 29, likely will follow a similar recovery that running back Breece Hall took last year after his torn ACL, meaning limited snaps until the regular season begins."

With the WR's ADP falling into the 11th round and later, he's worth a stab to gamble on a return to form from Aaron Rodgers.

"He's got a long way to go," Saleh said about Mike Williams' recovery from injury. "He's on the same timeline that Breece Hall had. They're very similar injuries, same timeframe. Speaking with Mike, he knows he's got a road to trek, but at the same time, if he does it the right way, we're very confident that we'll have them ready for Week 1."

If the team truly does view the injuries in the same light, we could see a sort of pitch count for Williams to begin the season. Hall had season-lows in snap counts in Week 1 (17) and Week 2 (16) before getting back to his full workload. Regardless, the former Chargers receiver fits very well in this offense and should pop up with WR2 weeks throughout the year.

Former Chargers WR Mike Williams is signing with the Jets on a 1-year deal worth up to $15M, another weapon for Aaron Rodgers. He’s on a visit there today.

A 1-2 punch should do wonders for a struggling Jets WR group, and Williams offers a legit piece to whoever takes snaps at QB. Wilson is a great fringe WR1/2 option, while Williams is down in the WR2/3 range

Jets WR Garrett Wilson, who has been limited all week with an elbow injury, is questionable for Sunday, with Robert Saleh saying he feels good about him (and many of the other questionables) playing.

If Garrett Wilson were to miss, no one else on this team outside of Breece Hall could be trusted in fantasy. Lazard has looked awful this year and the rotation behind him is very thin.

An MRI confirmed the Jets’ fears: Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers suffered a complete tear of his left Achilles tendon Monday night, per sources.

It was the biggest fear since the injury happened during the Jets opening drive. HC Robert Saleh has already said the team will ride with Wilson, but it's a huge fantasy downgrade for the Jets WR group. The team could lean more on running backs Cook and Hall and the running game as a whole, as Hall was an obvious bright spot on Monday night. The Jets will likely bring in another quarterback, but for now the team looks primed to ride this out with Wilson at QB - and a very good defense.

Trey Wingo (who was the first to indicate the Jets had spoken to Aaron Rodgers last week) has tweeted that the deal is “done.” We’ve heard the same thing, albeit not quite as definitively.

Meanwhile, various Jets players are dropping hints about it on Twitter, from cornerback Sauce Gardner to running back Breece Hall to receiver Garrett Wilson to tackle Mekhi Becton.

The evidence is largely circumstantial. It hit our radar screen because Rodgers is involved in trying to persuade one or more free agents to join the Jets. Gardner hinted at “package deals” last week, if Rodgers were to accept a trade to the Jets.

There is enough smoke here to start processing the fantasy implications of an Aaron Rodgers trade to the Jets. Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, and Corey Davis are all under contract, and all three would get a boost if Rodgers is under center in 2023. As for Rodgers, he'll have a chance to rebound from his QB15 finish last season, though he's still dealing with a relatively raw receiving corps. Davis is a productive vet, while Wilson was one of the top rookie receivers in 2022, so this does look like an upgrade from his weapons in Green Bay. Jordan Love will finally get his chance to start, though he's expected to be a downgrade from Rodgers in his first season as the starter. The Packers will likely try to establish a strong running game to take the pressure off of Love.

Mike White is dealing with a rib injury after he was rocked throughout the Jets’ 20-12 loss at Buffalo, including being forced to leave twice because of a pair of particularly rough — but legal — hits. He went to the hospital after the game for precautionary exams, was cleared and flew home with the team.

Coach Robert Saleh said White’s rib injury will make him day to day, but he’s “hopeful” he’ll start Sunday against Detroit. White is planning to be under center with the Jets (7-6) trying to continue their playoff push.

“I’m going to prepare as such,” White said. “I feel like I can play. I feel like I’m ready to roll.”

White added from the story, “I feel good. I mean, I don’t feel like 100 bucks because I just played a football game. But, nah, I feel good.” Seems like White will be good to go for Week 15, but of course keep an eye on his practice status this week. He's got a potential high-scoring matchup with the Lions. He's played well since taking over for Wilson and has brought fantasy relevance to players like Wilson and Moore.

It’s no secret the Jets’ wide receivers weren’t happy with how they were being used (or targeted) with Wilson at quarterback. Things changed with White against the Bears, who admittedly had a secondary decimated by injuries. Elijah Moore, whose story of displeasure has been well-told by now, even got involved. Garrett Wilson was targeted early and often and finished with five catches for 95 yards and two touchdowns.

The story pointed out Wilson has scored four touchdowns this season, none thrown by Zach Wilson. Moore had only two targets, but they were good ones: a 42-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter, and a 22-yard touchdown in the third quarter. The story also speculated that with Davis (one catch, 9 yards) back in the lineup, the Jets look loaded at wide receiver — and maybe White is the right quarterback to get them the ball when they’re open.
